You would think with the likes of Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon carrying Fahrenheit 451 on their backs that this would be something special. It's not. It's actually somewhat of a letdown because they are in it. Not because they sucked, but because they bring a certain level of their craft to each and everything they do. This remake is nothing more than a Hi-Tech version of the same story we already know. There really isn't anything special about this adaptation at all. I would say this is a Skip. Just read the book.
